Antonio Conte threatens to leave out multiple Tottenham stars on Boxing Day

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has suggested he may leave out all 12 Tottenham players involved in the World Cup as he voiced his frustration at the situation.

Spurs make the short trip to West London to take on Brentford in the early Boxing Day kick-off (12:30) but Conte is concerned about differing levels of fitness within his squad. He believes those who stayed behind and weren't involved in Qatar are currently a level above those who recently returned.

Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur picked up injuries at the tournament whilst those involved in the World Cup final - Cristian Romero and Hugo Lloris - were already ruled out. But Conte hinted the other players he had in Qatar may also not be deemed ready to play.
